New-ness!

We have been flat out these last 2 weeks with Phil home and me working 60 hours a week instead of 6!!! We are all pretty tired to say the least. Today we managed to finally get a blind for the front entrance that I have been wanting for a long time. I love it!

Strawberry Fields Forever ...

Today we headed out to the country, to Bullsbrook to give the girls' a taste of strawberry picking! I did alot of it growing up, I even had a little job on weekends strawberry picking, which I loved. So when I heard this place was open to the public I knew it was something I wanted the kids to experience as well. They loved it, so did half of Perth. The place was packed and we lined up for 40 minutes to wait for the tractor to transport us to where we could pick. A tray cost $10, and the are the nicest I have tasted for years!

Pamper Time ...

My one day off work this week and we headed out to do some shopping. The girls' still had money left from last months allowance, so they were keen to spend some of it. While we were there I treated us all to a pedicure. It was a bit of fun, the girls loved the experience. I chose a deep purple nail polish, Kate a blue and Ella a pink!

Out for Tea

There hasn't been much time for taking photos and blogging lately. Work is chaotic which means more days for me and more hours. So after a full-on day today on my feet, I decided to treat us to an early tea up the hill at Dome. We all enjoyed it (although I was a bit too tired to eat much!) along with a game of dominoes!

Enjoying the Public Holiday

We celebrated the Queens Birthday today with a visit to the indoor rock climbing place! The girls' had a blast, Ella's friend was also there for our last half hour, and they wore themselves out. I wore my hands out holding the ropes.

Spring Time

We have all been enjoying a bit of warmth in the backyard. However, today hit a new record reaching 34 deg C for September. I hate the heat, so fortunately it will be short lived. For now. A cold front is expected tonight/tomorrow morning, and cooler temps and rain are more my cup of tea!

First Baths

Last weekend when the weather was warm, the guinea pigs experienced their first bath. Two out of the three loved it, Alfie not so much. Ebony-Rose the chook also had her first one, mainly to clean up her mucky bottom!
